[Announcement] [email protected] is now set as hidden (unless you subscribe) (programming.dev)

As per our policy of hiding political communities, pornographic communities and communities hosting bot spam, [email protected] is now set to hidden as its content is mainly USA centric political news.

Those of you who want to continue to see posts from [email protected] are encouraged to subscribe to the community, which will make the it visible for your account.

The mods over [email protected] have already been notified of this move and understand our decision, please do not bother them by pinging them here.

A previous announcement post of other hidden communities can be seen here

Is there any API to get a list of all hidden communities? I'm tempted to subscribe to all of them because I exclusively browse all and don't want things filtered.

Edit: disregard, I see someone already asked

You could theoretically just loop through every community via "get_communities" and then com_obj["community_view"]["community"]["hidden"] :: boolean *I'm writing this on memory, the json structure may be slightly different

and then just subscribe to every community that pops up.

It will likely be slow though, and it's mostly NSFW + [email protected] that would pop up on c/all if you did. I also *think* lemmygrad as an instance is hidden, so those communities may pop up if they tend to reach c/all.

I'll discuss with the team about making a public list of hidden communities.

Thanks, I appreciate it. I saw the previous post about the foomoe communities. I'm mostly just curious, I don't see this as some sort of unjust censorship or something like that. I appreciate all the work y'all do for this instance. 💜💜
